Abstract

We consider the problem of separating and estimating the waveforms of superimposed signals received by a polarization sensitive array. Signal estimation is accomplished by a two-step maximum likelihood procedure: (i) The direction of arrivals and polarization parameters of all the signals are estimated. (ii) The estimated signal is obtained as a linear combination of the array outputs, with weights which are computed from the estimated direction and polarization parameters. Expressions are derived for the output Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) and output Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Numerical examples illustrate the performance improvement that can be achieved using polarized arrays.
